No doubt in my mind that had he remained healthy he would have been the first and only player to date to be inducted into the Pro Football and Pro Baseball Hall of Fame. Once in every 100 years athlete.
His flaw was being too athletic. He was a badass on the football field but as a Royals fan I can only imagine what would have happened if he stuck with baseball. sigh...
Signalsoldier I’ll admit he was one of the greatest athletes ever. But to say he’d be a hall of fame NFL player is a stretch. He averaged under 700 yards per season rushing the ball. Great running backs like AP and CJ2K have rushed in a season for what he rushed for in 4 seasons.
Signalsoldier yes sir!!! He was the greatest athlete I ever saw and when I watch videos like this I tear up just a little, knowing what you said would have came true.
@@Newbeginning1980 That's Bo being humble, and him stating the truth would only make him look like like an arrogant ass. On the other hand I could see Barkley agreeing with him.
Just like Mike Tyson, at 13 when he was first discovered by Teddy Atlas, Mike was 190 lbs and solid. Teddy wanted to see his birth certificate cuz he thought Mike was a grown man.
I was in 4th grade when Bo ran the wall at 2:16 and it was all over the news that night and the next day at school everyone was trying to copy him running up the brick wall during recess. Great memories. Bo was superhuman to us.
I grew up in an exclusively Auburn family. I was a teenager when Bo rose to fame. Even among so many iconic Auburn athletes (Barkley, Newton, Sullivan, etc), Bo Jackson is like Zeus overshadowing lesser gods. He returned to Auburn while I was attending to complete his degree as an example for his younger cousins and nephews. Always has been a humble and classy man.
If it would not of been for the horrible hip injury, he would of made the NFL Hall of Fame and MLB Hall of Fame. He was a truly amazing athlete, one we may NEVER see again.
I grew up watching Bo play ball. He was without a doubt the most amazing player who ever played any game. He was and is a real man off the field. There will never be another player like Bo Jackson.
all star was a disgrace. At all star time was batting below .250 all hype from media & fans voted him in. Many players shafted that were batting over .300 in the outfield
@@BBBYpsi His stats at the break were .263 21HR 59RBI, 21 HR being tied for the AL lead. He ended the top of the 1st with a great running catch then led off the bottom of the 1st with a HR and later added a SB. He was named the game MVP. Where's the disgrace? And yes fans voted him to the game, that's how it works jackass. Little hater boy.
@@favrerules04 BBBpsi is a troll. He makes the same lame comment on every Bo Jackson video out there. Pay no attention to him. Probably some 40 year old obese cheeto smacking, mountain dew drinking, basement dwelling, mommies boy that can't go up a flight of stairs without taking a 5 minute break talking idiot.
I mean this in the best possible way. Bo Jackson was an absolute freak. He played when I was very young so I didn’t ever watch him play. But watching highlights of him are incredible.
No shit, what is really annoying is they don't consider his 40 official anymore because it was done with a stop watch and not the high tech equipment they have today, which is bs, rarely does anyone gain time from a stop watch, usually you loss a tenth not gain a tenth, which mean his 4.12 could have been a 4.02
Thanks for the comments/Views. This was non profit. I just tried to show how great Bo was from beginning to end. I would do the video over, take out the audio if I could. Add a couple more plays. I never imagined this video getting one million views. Hope Bo got to see it.
In Tecmo Bowl he was a cheat code. You could run 99 yard TDs every time with him. I hated the Raiders but used them every game to destroy my friends because they didn't know Bo like I did lol
Bo was so great, had he been born later and played today, people would accuse him of PEDs. He was unnatural. He broke a lot of records in just the short time he played, I get goosebumps and even a little sad thinking what he could of done with a 15 year career in any sport. There are hall of fame legends that will tip their hat and admit they were lucky to have just been on the same field with Bo Jackson.
If this guy didn't suffer AVN, there is no telling how many records and championships he would have racked up. I seen him hit a golf ball way over 300 yards and long before it was routine. He was way out of bounds with talent. Strength, speed, hand eye coordination and desire. Pretty damn frightening for the opposing team.
Yeah it's tough to even compare him to anyone as far as overall athleticism. At 2:18 the most impressive part of that play isn't him running on the wall, it's that he came out of nowhere and caught that ball in left center. A lot of outfielders don't even make that catch.
Clinical Educator1 bo reminds me of all those 27 year old musicians who died to young. His career ended way to soon. They were all ahead of their time.
Clorox Bleach I think the throw to 3rd was unreal. He barley adjust his feet, that was all arm. I've seen cespedes do It with a running start and barely get the runner. Bo had em beat before he slid. WOW
@kissmyaass1 this is late, but that year would be prior to Bo Jackson. He was drafted out of College 10 years later. You qualified when he was in early high school or junior high. Possibly 8th grade or so.
I was at that playoff game against the bengals when he got injured. Bo was one of the Best Players if he didn’t get injured he was unstoppable and played 2 professional sports football & baseball☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
It's need to be a bo Jackson movie... The guy from birth of a Nation needs to play as bo Jackson. That movie would get kids to get of the streets an stop trying to be a thug cause you see it. But this movie would make them want to become great and to do more an honor your family an love your mother
As awesome as the football hls are, its his baseball skills that stand out. Power, speed, arm, defense. The most exciting things you'll see from a position player.
You can’t tell me that Zion and Lebron can’t play pro football too. There are Other two sport athletes....but it’s just that nowadays you would be dumb to play 2 sports because you can make such an outrageous amount only playing one.
I am thankful to have grown up in the 80’s in Los Angeles. Bo Jackson was a god for a brief couple of years that he was active in the nfl and mlb. He was bigger than life. He was a shining star and still is.
My gosh, what a talent. I wish we could have watched your light shine on athletic fields a lot longer than we had. Bless you Mr. Jackson, hope you are living a great life
I am BO fanatic as well as Auburn ! Bo and his coaches swear he barely worked out, he was just a genetic God. I love the debate between him and Herschel. Obviously im a Bo fan, and Herschel is the only person close to being on his level in my opinion but I give the edge to Bo... strictly because love his sub 4.3 forty time that is still the fastest one in sec history to my knowledge ... both are generational talents that we will never see again
I hope generations after us appreciate how amazing this feat is. He didn’t have the stats because he didn’t have the longevity.. this is on Jim Thorpe level.
I was at that game against the Broncos when he ran over Mike Harden. I've told that story a hundred times. I'll never forget that play. And Mike Harden was a bad ass in his own right. Bo was in a class by himself.
I agree bro ...injuries just took his career and .263 batting avg. ....that shows you how hard it is to play MLB ...AND I will always wonder how Alabama didn't 'pay' more for his services to get him to play over Auburn ....lol
Justin Epperly Checkout ESPN's 30 for 30 on Bo Jackson(if you haven't already). Greatest athlete ever....? YES!! 100% YES!! He's a living legend. Great video Mac.
Greatest athlete. He defied physics when he scaled that wall. Wish he hadn't played in the NFL tho, would have been a first ballot HOF, all time great MLB player.
2:46 The tackle that caused his hip injury and ended his football career. As an 80's kid who watched him in both college and pro, he is probably the greatest pure athlete ever and we got robbed of at least 10 years of greatness because of his injury. He is also one of the most humble and soft spoken guys you will ever meet
I still remember watching the Seattle game on Monday Night football with my dad, I was like six at the time and was amazed by what I was seeing, I used to half pay attention at that age but I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, that was the moment I became a Raiders fan and I've loved them since that night. Bo was my favorite athlete as a kid and I remember that damn play at the L.A. Coliseum against the Bengals during the divisional playoffs like yesterday, I remember him playing with his kids on the sidelines after the injury thinking he'll be alright not knowing that was the last play of his NFL career, I also remember watching the Raiders get killed the next week in the AFC championship game by the Bills and wondering what would have happened had we had Bo. There are four Raiders that will always hold a special place in my heart because they were there when I first became a fan of the Raiders and of football, a game I would grow up to play and love and love as a fan and they are; Bo Jackson, Howie Long, Marcus Allen, and Tim Brown (Tim Brown is my favorite Raider of all time). Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders were the two most exciting players to watch on offense ever, I also remember watching the Lions Raiders game where they both went off, check it there used to be a youtube video of the highlights the two of them put on.
@@CH-pw4uz he was ass at baseball bro the only reason they drafted him was cuz it was the legendary michael Jordan and basketball doesn't take nearly the effort that football takes
Bo Jackson's DNA needs to be cloned in case of an Alien invasion to scare them the f*ck away. I've talked with several older fellas (i do home remodeling for a living so i do work for lots of 50 plus crowd) they all agree Bo was the freakiest Athlete they've ever witness
Where's the highlight of where, after palming a one-hopper off the wall at the warning track, he throws out a runner(Harold Reynolds) at Home Plate? Teardrop on the plate. The catcher had started to walk to the dugout cuase he knew the runner was the game winning run...then he came back after he saw Bo palm the ricochet off the wall. THAT is the greatest play ever....ruclips.net/video/eB9wi_zvMdM/видео.html
Scott Surber I seen that after making this video. It was incredible. It made me want to make a part 2. I will change it up a little. Thanks for the comment.
I saw it live. Could not believe he threw Reynolds out. Still, for me, his greatest play was when he ran up the wall in Baltimore. Never been done before or since.
@@DoritosRus so certain extent I understand they have left millions in two players and yourself playing in the offseason another sport all together professionally it can be hard on the body
Growing up in the mid 1970s, 80s and 90s was awesome, so many great things like Larry Bird, Bo, Music was outstanding and the list goes on and on. At least future generations can enjoy these moments on RUclips.
No doubt in my mind that had he remained healthy he would have been the first and only player to date to be inducted into the Pro Football and Pro Baseball Hall of Fame. Once in every 100 years athlete.

Signalsoldier well said
Climbing the wall after the catch was my favorite part of the whole video. Hands down.
YES!
Has anyone else ever done that???
I watch that over and over and reminisce about my baseball playing days
The throw across the field to get the runner out at 3rd was unbelievable. What a cannon
Looked like Spiderman
Bo was the perfect athlete... played football (athletism) and baseball (pure skill) and played both at an all-star level.
It takes more coordination to play Basketball than it does Baseball
And he was a track star in high school.
Osh Ick are you high
Osh Ick but it takes extreme reaction time and prediction for a 90+ mph pitch
Lol roided american bias. Karelin would make any nfl guy his baby bitch

That's a fact!
Donnie Ramsey
They asked him who was the best athlete in Auburn history... Charles Barkley is what Bo said
@@Newbeginning1980 That's Bo being humble, and him stating the truth would only make him look like like an arrogant ass. On the other hand I could see Barkley agreeing with him.
Just like Mike Tyson, at 13 when he was first discovered by Teddy Atlas, Mike was 190 lbs and solid. Teddy wanted to see his birth certificate cuz he thought Mike was a grown man.

He was superhuman to everyone not named Bo Jackson

He returned to Auburn while I was attending to complete his degree as an example for his younger cousins and nephews. Always has been a humble and classy man.
The greatest athlete that ever lived. It was a honor to witness his era. In a league of his own
The man is a specim. .01 percent of all collegiate athletes make it to the pros. Jackson made it to the pros, IN TWO SPORTS!
Lmfao you ain't lying
All-Star in two sports...
And excelled at both! The bastard was not an average player in either one. I mean just been average in one pro sport is such an amazing accomplishment
If it would not of been for the horrible hip injury, he would of made the NFL Hall of Fame and MLB Hall of Fame. He was a truly amazing athlete, one we may NEVER see again.
That game he ran up the wall was my first baseball game. I was so young, I thought all games were like that.
If Aliens wanted the best of the best human DNA, they’d be looking for Bo Jackson.
GOAT.......the sickest talent ever. And a modest, humble man.
Greatest natural athlete of all time, in my view. You know what they say, though: “The candle that burns twice as bright, lasts half as long.”
I grew up watching Bo play ball. He was without a doubt the most amazing player who ever played any game. He was and is a real man off the field. There will never be another player like Bo Jackson.

Absolute GOAT athlete! No one else comes close. Bo knows!
The most gifted and talented athlete I have ever seen. Not many athletes can dominate in two major sports.
To this day, the fastest 40 time in the NFL combine. 4.12 seconds. Astounding when you consider that he could run over people as well.
No shit, what is really annoying is they don't consider his 40 official anymore because it was done with a stop watch and not the high tech equipment they have today, which is bs, rarely does anyone gain time from a stop watch, usually you loss a tenth not gain a tenth, which mean his 4.12 could have been a 4.02
Andy know what I find astounding, he was 200+ lbs running that time, the guy was incredible.
He was electronically time at 4.13 on a couple of occasions, if you watch him run, there has not been anyone that explosive, Herchel Walker was close.
Karelin would use bo and walker as his favourite boy toys.
Wonder how he would have done on steroids
He was the greatest athlete I’ve ever seen. No one else is close. And, even more importantly, he’s a wonderful human being.
Bo was so amazing as an athlete. I don't think anyone will reach where he was at ever again.
Thanks for the comments/Views. This was non profit. I just tried to show how great Bo was from beginning to end. I would do the video over, take out the audio if I could. Add a couple more plays. I never imagined this video getting one million views. Hope Bo got to see it.
Thanks! Bo was/is THE man! His legacy will never die
One of the Drug free Athletes. Natural talent!!
Flash357 you think Bo wasn’t on roids!
Same like GSP then 😂😂
he didn't work out, he was just built like that
Lol keep dreaming
DARK5ElD No, he wasn’t.......
To talk about Bo Jackson is to know that god does give out great gifts and what a great time we were privileged to have seen such greatness
I was never a Raiders fan or even Kansas City but I love Bo Jackson he's the best!
Bo Jackson's Baseball was my favorite game on Nintendo. The man is a legend.
HE WAS SAFE BY A MILE!!!!! YEERRRR OUT!!!!!
In Tecmo Bowl he was a cheat code. You could run 99 yard TDs every time with him. I hated the Raiders but used them every game to destroy my friends because they didn't know Bo like I did lol
The saddest words of tongue or pen, are these four words- "what might have been".
Greatest athlete ever: power, speed, torque, quickness, coordination and balance.
Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete ever. I wish I got to see him play.
Bo was so great, had he been born later and played today, people would accuse him of PEDs. He was unnatural.

What a Athlete! I have 2 of his rookie cards still! Man, there will never be another! What an animal!
I am 58 years old. Never seen anything like him. Guess is, he and Jimmy Brown had to be the greatest athlete this country has ever seen .
So glad I went to many royals games to watch this stud. Wish he played for my chiefs to.
Bryan pop
Smith
I agree man, Bo is awesome! He was my favorite player as a kid (in baseball). Coming from a Denver fan.. one of the greatest athletes ever.
Bryan Smith I got to see him play at then Royals Stadium at least a half dozen times. He was worth the price of admission to see.

Unfortunately 😭
The dude was honestly a freak athlete. He was one of the best athlete until his injury.
@2:32 even the GREAT Roberto Celmente would say that was a PERFECT THROW from RF to 3rd base !!

I saw it live. Could not believe he threw Reynolds out. Still, for me, his greatest play was when he ran up the wall in Baltimore. Never been done before or since.
Why has the 21st century yet to have any 2 sport pro athletes? Where are the Bo Jacksons & Deion Sanders of this age?
There should at least be someone who dominates boxing and UFC simultaneously.
Cuz black people stop playing baseball for the most part for whatever reason
Politics. MLB or NFL won't have it. Heck even alot of the collegiate programs have a problem with it.
@@DoritosRus so certain extent I understand they have left millions in two players and yourself playing in the offseason another sport all together professionally it can be hard on the body
The best thing about Bo Jackson is the ‘what if’ factor. Everybody knows he was so bad ass that he could live up to any hype in any scenario 💯
This man towers above today's pro athletes, probably always will.
Was a great thing of beauty to see him play MLB here in KC and Watch him play against the CHIEFS
WesternDefenseInd crazy this city doesn't give him the props he deserves when he was a Royal.
HOW CAN 20 PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS.
I'm guessing because the play that injured him and started the end of his career was included.
VIC Mackey Probably hate the music...
Probably because they are stupid Bammers........
They are the 20 guys he ran/trucked over on his way to the end zone lol
Growing up in the mid 1970s, 80s and 90s was awesome, so many great things like Larry Bird, Bo, Music was outstanding and the list goes on and on. At least future generations can enjoy these moments on RUclips.
Bo Jackson, a titan among men.
